The Alien Diaries

The Alien Diaries (in German transcription with an English translation) show a little-known personal side of the artist H.R. Giger and offer an unusual,
detailed glimpse into the making of a movie classic through the eyes of a Swiss artist. The book contains almost completely unpublished material, including
drawings, Polaroids showing the monster coming to life, and several still shots from the plentiful film material that Giger took in Shepperton. The book is
released as a 660-page Hardcover, with 48 b/w images 59 color images.

It can be ordered via the website gigersaliendiaries.com. The website also features book
trailer, comprised of book excerpts, as well as clips from Giger's personal 16mm documentary filmed during the making of "Alien."

Having designed and constructed many of the otherworldly elements, including the titular creature on Ridley Scott's seminal science fiction horror classic
ALIEN, Giger was part of the special effects team that won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for their design work. Giger was also
inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2013.

Giger's style and thematic execution were influential. His design for the Alien was inspired by his painting Necronom IV and earned him an Oscar in 1980.
His books of paintings, particularly Necronomicon and Necronomicon II (1985) and the frequent appearance of his art in Omni magazine continued his rise to
international prominence. Giger is also well known for artwork on several music recording albums.

The film ALIEN is currently celebrating its 35th Anniversary.

Here we go again: Super7 SDCC Exclusive Limited to Just 250 Sets

7.2.2014

Welp, those of you hoping to score one of Super7's SDCC exclusive playsets may find it a little challenging as they've decided to limit the set to only 250
units. Not a typo. I'll repeat that again in case you missed it: 250.

I don't know who thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we made these even more hard to get then last year's exclusive? Let's just make 250," was a good idea, but lame.

Sideshow Alien Big Chap Bust

One of the most recognizable creatures ever to stalk the silver screen, the Big Chap alien earned its nickname on the film set for its overwhelming size. Recreated in approximately 1:2 scale, this magnificent bust captures H.R. Giger's original bio-mechanical creature design in stunning detail. Sideshow's artists have faithfully rendered the xenomorph's distinctive head carapace with its signature glossy-wet appearance, and a semi-translucent surface reveals the haunting skull beneath. Incorporated into the base of the bust is a relief design of an alien egg and facehugger - a special nod to the rich film lore of the Aliens universe, and an accompanying themed film name plate completes the display.

The Alien Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust is an outstanding addition to any Xenophile collection...just keep it away from the cat.

A Word of Warning... Funko's ReAction Figures

2.27.2014

Given our excitement for Funko's ReAction figure line, we couldn't have been more thrilled when our shipment of the long-awaited figures finally arrived. Sadly our
excitement turned to disappointment after opening the box to discover EVERY SINGLE blister card was damaged in some way: either warped, bent, or creased - and
the seals around the plastic figure window look like they had been melted with a heat gun:

Even worse was Funko's customer service "reaction" to the damaged figures: basically, "we're not set up to handle this, it's a retailer issue." Initally our
retailer told us there was little they could do as well, but after some back and forth - especially after informing them of Funko's respone, our account was
partially credited.
From what we understand, others experienced this issue as well, so we thought we'd let you all know before purchasing any of these blindly online. Buyer
beware and all that...

Aliens Card Game

10.15.2013

BoardGameGeek has the scoop on Legendary Enounters, a deck boarding game set in the Aliens and Predator universe!

"Fans of the popular Alien, Predator and Firefly franchises crave one-of-a-kind and engaging merchandise even now, years after the films and television series debuted," said Roz Nowicki, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Retail at Fox Consumer Products. "We are looking forward to a continued partnership with Upper Deck, expanding our trading card offering to collectors and fans of these beloved sci-fi titles."

"Bringing in the popular Alien, Predator and Firefly franchises to expand our Legendary Deck Building game portfolio just makes sense," said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck. "At Upper Deck we aren't looking to just push out dozens of different games, in hopes that one or two might succeed. We believe that it is more important to focus our efforts and invest heavily in creating what we know will be a great gaming experience for our audience."

Upper Deck is planning to release additional trading card games for the three franchises, along with brand new lines of trading cards and stickers. Details and release dates for these products will be announced later this year.
